was Adolf Hitler's first Eastern Front military headquarters in World War II. The complex, which would become one of several Führerhauptquartiere (Führer Headquarters) located in various parts of occupied Europe, was built for the start of Operation Barbarossa – the invasion of the Soviet Union – in 1941. It was constructed by Organisation Todt. The top secret, high security site was in the Masurian woods about 8 km (5.0 mi) from the small East Prussian town of Rastenburg (now Kętrzyn,
Poland). Three security zones surrounded the central complex where the
Führer's bunker was located. These were guarded by personnel from the SSReichssicherheitsdienst and the Wehrmacht's armoured Führerbegleitbrigade. Despite the security, the most notable assassination attempt against Hitler was made at the Wolf's Lair on 20 July 1944. Hitler first arrived at the headquarters on 23 June 1941. In total, he spent more than 800 days at the Wolfsschanze during a 3½-year period until his final departure on 20 November 1944.
In the summer of 1944, work began to enlarge and reinforce many of the
Wolf's Lair original buildings. However, the work was never completed
because of the rapid advance of the Red Army during the Baltic Offensive in autumn 1944. On 25 January 1945, the complex was blown up and abandoned 48 hours before the arrival of Soviet forces.

Panicked elite

buy underground bunkers

to protect against revolutions

14.4.201620:57From: dailymail.co.uk"The panicked 0.01 per cent are reportedly buying up
underground bunkers carved out of bedrock to escape civil unrest and
natural disasters.

Bespoke hidden chambers in Germany and the US are being snapped up as
the world's wealthiest look to secure a safe spot if crisis strikes,
according to their promoters.

And while numbers are difficult to ascertain, experts say more and more
of the wealthy are installing 'safe rooms' in their apartments - or at
least fortifying rooms to hide in should disaster strike.

Each two level 'chamber' can be tailored to the owner's design - perhaps to match your bespoke yacht?

The 'survival complex' boasts a swimming pool, cinema, meeting rooms as well as by laws and armed guards

While the underground hideaways are designed to withstand the worst natural disasters - they are luxurious above all else.

Customers are encouraged to decorate their 'chamber' like they would their yachts, according to owner Vivos CEO Robert Vicino.

Swimming pools, cinemas, bars and meeting rooms are open to the 'elite' community who can survive underground for one year.

'People are sensing that a global life-changing event is just ahead...
Millions of people believe that we are living in the “end times",'
promotional website Vivos declares.

Bedrock: The largest facility is in Germany, but a second bunker is also selling out in Indiana, US

Danger: The world's wealthiest are reportedly worried by civil unrest, revolution and crime more than natural disaster

'We are clearly living in dangerous and changing times that the
uninformed will never understand until the threats are evident. We
cannot predict, but we can prepare,' the company said in a statement to
MailOnline.

The biggest facility is in Germany - Europa One - and is 'one of the
most fortified and massive underground survival shelters on Earth, deep
below a limestone mountain' and 'safely secured from the general public,
behind sealed and secured walls, gates and blast doors'.

Journalist Lynn Parramore visited the facility in Indiana, US - and
reported the gigantic bunker was like walking into a hotel, describing
it as the 'Ritz Carlton of doomsday shelters'.

The cheapest of the bunkers will set you back $35,000, while the most delux costs up to $3 million.

The state of the art facilities also include a hospital, and armed
guards on duty to keep the 99 per cent from breaking into the hideaway.

To avoid a Lord of the Flies scenario, the designers have also
implemented a handbook that outlines by laws for the bunkered community.

Community: To avoid a Lord of the Flies scenario,
the designers have also implemented a handbook that outlines by laws for

Safe room: The facility is described as more like a
'hotel', and is the extreme option while others have reinforced closets
or bathrooms in their homes as a place to hide out should disaster
strike."

(Phys.org)—A
pair of researchers has conducted a phylogenetic analysis on common
fairy tales and has found that many of them appear to be much older than
has been thought. In their paper published in Royal Society Open Science,
Sara Graça da Silva, a social scientist/folklorist with New University
of Lisbon and Jamshid Tehrani, an anthropologist with Durham University
describe the linguistic study they carried out and why they believe at
least one fairy tale had its origins in the Bronze Age.

Fairy tales
are popular the world over, some so much that they have crossed over
into multiple societies—Beauty and the Beast for example, has been told
in one form or another across the globe. Modern linguists and
anthropologists have set the origin of most such fairy tales to just
prior to the time they were written down, which would make them several
hundred years old. But this new research suggests they are much older
than that, with some going back thousands of years.
To come to these conclusions, the researchers applied a technique
normally used in biology—building phylogenetic trees to trace linguistic
attributes back to their origin. They started with 275 fairy tales,
each rooted in magic, and whittled them down to 76 basic stories. Trees
were then built based on Indo-European languages, some of which have
gone extinct. In so doing, the researchers found evidence that some
fairy tales, such as Jack and the Beanstalk, were rooted in other
stories, and could be traced back to a time when Western and Eastern
Indo-European languages split, which was approximately 5,000 years ago,
which means of course that they predate the Bible, for example, or even
Greek myths.
The researchers placed confidence factors on different results,
depending on how strong the trees were that could be built—some were
obviously less clear than others, but one fairy tale in particular, they
note, was very clear—called The Smith and The Devil, they traced it
back approximately 6,000 years, to the Bronze Age.
Notably, Wilhelm Grimm, of the famous Grimm brothers who published
many fairy tales back in 1812, wrote that he believed the tales were
many thousands of years old—that notion was discredited not long after,
but now, the researchers suggest, they believe he was right all along.

Ancient population expansions and dispersals often leave enduring
signatures in the cultural traditions of their descendants, as well as
in their genes and languages. The international folktale record has long
been regarded as a rich context in which to explore these legacies. To
date, investigations in this area have been complicated by a lack of
historical data and the impact of more recent waves of diffusion. In
this study, we introduce new methods for tackling these problems by
applying comparative phylogenetic methods and autologistic modelling to
analyse the relationships between folktales, population histories and
geographical distances in Indo-European-speaking societies. We find
strong correlations between the distributions of a number of folktales
and phylogenetic, but not spatial, associations among populations that
are consistent with vertical processes of cultural inheritance.
Moreover, we show that these oral traditions probably originated long
before the emergence of the literary record, and find evidence that one
tale ('The Smith and the Devil') can be traced back to the Bronze Age.
On a broader level, the kinds of stories told in ancestral societies can
provide important insights into their culture, furnishing new
perspectives on linguistic, genetic and archaeological reconstructions
of human prehistory.

Sculpture
known as Ganditorul (#TheThinker) which was found in a Neolithic
settlement in Cernavoda in Romania, and probably dating from around 5000
BC. The figure next to it is the “Sitting Woman of Cernavoda”. Both are
made from terra-cotta, an unglazed, clay-based ceramic, and both are
devoid of decoration which in itself is very unusual. Older artifacts
focus on hunting or fertility, but this is the oldest pre-historic
sculpture that reflects human introspection. As such it is often said to
one of the first and most striking examples of art for art’s sake.

According
to archaeologists, the Tapajós culture had many specific moments in his
career. In their research, supported by the C-14 dating system, they
give you about 500 years old, located between the years 1000-1500. These
people were very numerous and lived in various regions of the mouth of
the Tapajós River, near Santarém and as the Marajó, they were also

different reasons - for scholars, mixtures of antiplástico effect in
ceramic produced by these people were incomparably more advanced than
those which were used by other Amazonian cultures. Nacerâmica of
Santarém, the antiplástico used was cauixi, a sponge found in freshwater
rivers due to its suppleness and softness. With this technique produced
a high hardness ceramic while that was also extremely light and easy to
handle. Furthermore, they were developed and beautifully decorated with
various motifs. The animal that is most represented in artistic
suasmanifestações is the snake, which can be found in various styles,
also appearing spiraled or stylized form, but always handled under very
well - designed plastic figurations. They say the researchers, that the
ceramic Santarém is the that more was produced in Brazil and can be
found in diverse locations on the banks of the Tapajós river, where they

between the Xingu and Tapajós rivers, with its unique and highly
productive culture. Among its extensive production found sophisticated
